I have a project for school and I have to use Java. Recently I found play framework and I want to try to use it. It's easy enough for a quick start, but I ran into a problem with session. Being stateless by its nature, play sends entire session to user in cookie and receives it on next request, so it allows only limited amount of data i...
I have worked with Django before and have recently seen the Play framework. Is this the Java community's answer to Django? Any experiences with it?

I've been having a (ironic) play around with the Play Framework and have been impressed thus far. I was just curious as to what other Java frameworks are out there that have a similar feature to Play in that you are able to get immediate feedback when making changes to your code base without having to re-build or re-deploy your app? ...

I have copied zipped file from the playframework.org website and unzipped it at a location. I have inserted it in my .bashrc profile to set up as PATH environment. But still, the play command is not accessible from anywhere. And even in the installed directory of the framework, the play file is not running as it is. I have to prefix p...
Guys, Long time Java developer here, but I've spent more time working with Ruby over the past 3 years or so as far as web applications go. I really have enjoyed it, but there are concerns I've uncovered that I won't cover here. Now that I've found the Play! framework, I'm thrilled about the prospect of having a Rails-like experience wi...
Is it possible to bundle Play! web application to executable jar instead of war? Could it just be run on localhost at some port just like when using "play run" command? (without the need of installing play into system) ...
Has anyone used the Play framework for a reasonably complex or large, deployed production app yet? If so, I would like to hear what the pros and cons of that experience were and what you might do differently if you could start over. In particular, I'm interested in how well it worked for projects that are big enough that it requires a ...
I've used DbUnit but after playing about with the Play Framework recently I've found it's Fixtures.load(String yamlFilename) really useful. Anyone know of a similar tool that can be used with any Java project? ...
Using Play! framework and it's JPASupport class I have run into a problem with a legacy database. I have the following class: @Entity @Table(name="product_catalog") public class ProductCatalog extends JPASupport { @Id @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY) public Integer product_catalog; @OneToOne @Jo...
Usually, a user makes a search, get a hitlist, and can then browse it. The hitlist is an intermediate result that remains consistent throughout the browsing and is typically stored in session state. E.g. if new items are added concurrently by some other, they would appear only in a subsequent search. In a REST application, I can't have...
Hi, I'm trying to figure out the proper tools for managing dependencies between JARs. I have a Play Framework app, which imports a JAR (based on another project I'm writing). This JAR imports other JARs, some of which have dependencies for yet other JARs. This far, I've gotten by with adding stuff to the build path in Eclipse. But when...
I am trying to get some basic unit tests up and running on the Play! framework using the Siena persistence library with GAE as the intended deployment target. I have the project configured properly and can deploy the app to GAE. I created a basic domain object: public class User extends Model { @Id(Generator.AUTO_INCREMENT) pu...
I'm using Play frameword and play-scalate plugin. The default demo of play-scalate provided is only ".ssp", but what I want to use is ".scaml". I create a "default.scaml", but I don't know how to include the inner views. Maybe my description is not clear, what I want to do is: translate the the layout "main.html" to "default.scaml". ...
I'm learning using Play Framework and doing a demo app for it. For this app I want also to integrate with the Facebook API, allowing users to log using Facebook Ids. Knowing that Play is a stateless framework and the way it works, there is some library or module recommended? I've not been able to find any but I ask just in case. ...
Ok so, i have this site that i am putting together in the play framework. It basically connects to an FTP site on the back end, retrieves a list of folders/files and sends that to a basic ExtJS front-end as JSON. I have it working so that the Tree Panel gets populated correctly, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything special when i e...
Hi, I am a beginner in Java and going to build a webapp that allows developers to work online on their projects. Something of the sort of bitbucket or github. I have developed sites using PHP and moving away from it. I was suggested that I should go with Spring Framework as it has a good learning curve and that it will probably look go...
